    A person who cared about their contribution to climate change to the point it was a genuine priority and affected their decisions would move. A person who didn’t would find ways to rationalize staying without much difficulty.

      Kinda lib response tbh. By your logic we should all be in some sort of violent revolutionary organisation because we can never solve climate change under capitalism. *If you really cared * you’d be learning how to manufacture anti aircraft batteries so we can take on their armies.

        It’s a question of priorities. We all ‘care’ about the environment. But frankly, most people care a lot more about other things, and simply find ways to manage their climate anxiety rather than address the climate issue. OP’s behavior isn’t the way it is because they don’t care about the environment or because they have no other options, but because they have other priorities.

          That’s true, and well put, commitment is important but it’s something best done in small steps, I also try not to blame people for insufficient commitment especially when so much of our day is already stolen from us.
